I can't believe we first shared this recipe almost seven years ago! It is still one of my husband's favorite meals. I love that it is so dang easy to whip up!

I am pretty sure he would eat this for dinner any chance he can. I love making Velveeta Shells and Cheese since I can set aside a plain bowl for me and then make John a fun bowl with his favorite toppings. Can you tell we have very different tastes in food!

Ingredients

• Velveeta Shells and Cheese
• Hamburger
• Ro-Tel

Three ingredients that is all you need to whip up this recipe!

I use mild or spicy Ro-Tel tomatoes depending on what mood we are in. It is up to you how spicy you make this dish.

You can also add in bacon if you want to change up the flavor a bit more.

I added a handful of Fritos Chips to the plate to enhance the Tex-Mex flavors. They were a fun addition to dinner. I will suggest having a couple of extra napkins if you try to eat the Tex-Mex Velveeta Shells and Cheese with the Fritos. I made quite a mess as I tried to eat but it was a lot of fun!
